FA Cup Replays

[HeCanDoMagic]

FA Cup replays apparently scrapped.

Out of the 736 teams that enter the completion, only 20 teams voted to do so. Guess which 20 they were...

Really?

Can't help thinking I might have been whooshed here, but if it's true, it's a disgraceful decision.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Not a disgraceful decision to get whooshed I mean

Can we start this thread again please?

Isn't it just replays from the QF onwards? As opposed in all rounds. Can't locate at the mo, but seem to remember reading a BBC article about it...

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Whats worse is that the FA's CEO Martin Glenn says he believes most fans want FA Cup replays scrapped. Deluded.

 

[raul]

He also believes fans prefer 5 o clock kick offs so they cant get home after and they prefer to pay top dollar for showpiece games .

So if Kidderminster draw Man U at home in the Quarter Final, there's no chance of them getting a replay that would earn them enough money to keep afloat for the next five seasons?

What a load of bollocks

Absolutely disgusting!I'm not even surprised anymore

I think scrapping QF replays is a non issue. Because since 07/08 fa cup there has been 6 replays. Also yes money from the replay at early rounds would help but from a success point of view it should help the underdogs as they cant usually never repeat it 2nd time around

also without wanting to be pedant if Kidderminster made quarter finals, they make around £1.25m with just prize money & tv money which is quite alot of money for them

So long as you are a consenting adult of right mind GCB.

And be extra careful if you are near Rhyl because there are some wild types there I hear

Voted on next summer, although quarters from this season.

Am I missing something about the Winter Break? How is it supposed to help? They still have to fit all the games in; if you ask me everyone's gone fucking soft; freezing your bollocks off on a cold winter's night is what football is all about.

 

[Harry's Game]

The FA Cup is dead.

You read it here first,... FOUR YEARS AGO!

I was right.



.......again.

 

[blade too long]

would be a real time saver if they scrapped the match and went straight to a penalty shoot out

dont want them poor little footballers getting tired

 

[Lard_Lad]

Replays are a great but at the same time can be a pain, especially early doors, drawing against someone like Morecambe and having to have a replay is just an unnecessary nuisance, on the other hand replays can be great for smaller teams drawing huge clubs like Man Utd and the Blades

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

I'd love it if the winter break had the warmest weather at that time of year for decades, followed by two weeks -10C temperatures

LEAVE OUR FOOTBALL ALONE YOU WANKERS!

Sorry....

The only thing that should be scrapped is Shaun Harvey.
